Regardless of whether a state is required to re-procure health plans or if it has a specific reason for re-procurement, this roundtable discussion is intended to explore how a state’s strategic intent can be supported by a payment structure. Discussants will discuss service delivery system structure, quality incentives, risk mitigation, and the rollout of a new program. Ultimately, a state’s payment structure must be congruent with, and support, its policy goals. The alignment between desired outcomes and payment strategy is crucial.
